"Volunteering is an expression of active citizenship in all areas of a person’s life. It is a catalyst of social change, raises awareness in society and fosters personal development. A great many natural and environmental disasters affect the European Union, and countless volunteers come from every part of Europe to offer their help, labour and solidarity, regardless of the barriers of language and bureaucracy that exist within our multifarious Union. Cross-border volunteering is, above all, an opportunity for intercultural enrichment for young European citizens.
By voting in favour, I support the idea of setting up a centralised EU portal on volunteering with a specific section dedicated to cross-border volunteering; the creation of a European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps with the aim of selecting, training and sending volunteers wherever they are needed; and the development of a European Skills Passport to ensure Europe-wide recognition of professional skills acquired through volunteering."@en1
